 In India and Ceylon the greater num- Der of the ancient dams or bunds are now in ruins, and this can occasion but little surprise, considering the meteore- logical condition of these countries. In Ceylon for instance, the rainfall of the year occurs within period of six to eight weeks, and often amounts to as much as I2in. in the twenty-four hours, and has been known comparatively recently, to reach nearly I9in. the latter an amount only gin. or gin. less than the average rainfall of Lincolnshire tor the whole year. In London is only E in., and in the wettest district in Great Britain, viz. Cumberland, averages not more than 70 in. per annum, and throughout India may be taken as from 5oin. to I3oin., varying, as is the general rule, in direct ratio with the altitude, and limited to c few weeks in the year. Notwithstanding this, there still exists in the Madras Pres idency a not inconsiderable number of ancient bunds, which serve their intend ed purpose at the present day as we'll as ever. Slight mistakes did occasionally occur, as they ever will till no more dams are wanted, as.is proved by the remains of some works in ceylon, where the fail ure was evidently due to error, possibly due to the instruments being out of ad- justment, as their base is at d higher level than the bed of the stream at the point where water from the latter was to be devoted to afford the supply.
 Among the most remarkable of these ancient works is the Horra-Bera tank, the bund of which is between three and four miles in length and from fifty feet to seventy feet in height, and although now in ruins, would formerly impound a reservoir lake of from eight to ten miles long and three or four miles broad. There is also the Kal, Wava tank, with bund of twelve miles in length, which would, if perfect, create lake of forty miles in circumference. Both ei these ruined works are situated in Cey- lon.
 The third embankment of a similar character IS that of the Cummum tank, situated in the Madras Presidency, and which although ranking amongst the earl fest works of Hindoo history, is still in a condition as to fulfill its original inten- tion. The area of the reservoir is abou, ffteeen square miles, the dam Io2ft. high with breadth at the crest of 76ft. The bywash is cut into the solid rock alto gether clear of the dam; the outlet cul- verts, however, are carried under the bank.

THE ELECTIONS.
New York.

New York.
 NEW YORK, Nov. o.--The George vote fell off nearly 10000 in the city.
 The total estimated plurality of Cook over Grant in New York State is about ,ooo.
 Republicans explain their local defeat by saying, Republicans who went for George last year, have stood by him, while Democrats have gone back to their party. The con- plete vote for District Attorney is: Nichols, 73,oo4; Fellows, o3,eo6; Post, 3o,6o2.
 The latest says: Grant was defeated by Prohibitionists. A big gain for the Republi- cans in the State, however. Fellows was elected by 10000 plurality over Nichol for District Attorney.
 BROOKLYN, Nov. o.--Republicans elect two Senators, the Democrats one. ChapiB, Democrat, is elected Mayor. Republicans elected the Sheriff and one Assemblyman.
 The Tribune says: In the light of yester- days voting it must be said that the country re-afirms its verdict against President Cleve- land and party. We see no re, son for Re- publican dismay in this result. The Demo- crats have won by the most tremendous ex- ertions.
 The World says: The result of the election in this State settles three points as thoroughly as any political event can be settled in ad- vance, President Cleveland will be re-nom- mated by his party, Blaine will not be re- nominated by the Republicans. George will not control the election next year. New York is the pivotal State. Cleveland's friends have had complete triumph. It seems that Cor mans Republican vote very largely came over to the Democratic side, and with an increased Prohibition vote, much more than made up the disaffection caused by the labor move ment.
 CINCINNATI, Nov. o.--Foraker is elected Governor of Ohio by plurality of 23,ooo. Further returns may change the figures, but Foraker is undoubtedly elected. Both houses Republican.
 Incomplete footings indicate Republican plurality of 10000 in Hamilton county. Iowa. DEs MONIES, Nov. 9.--Iowa has gone Re publican by about 10, 1000 majority. Massachusetts. BOSTON, Nov. o-Returns from all cities and towns in the State show Ames, Republi. can, I35,oI2; Lowering, Democrat, IIS, 3II; Earle, Prohibitionist, Io,oo7; Marks, Labor, S4S. Ames' plurality is I7,6II, against .9,437 last year.

It may be that the editor of the EPI- TAPH robbed stages in his youth and has been frequently "how come you so" in his mature age. We will admit for the sake of closing the argument on that point, that it is true. But what has that to do with the fact that on Friday eve ming. October 2o, 1887, James J. Nash extorted from MT. A. E. Jacobs check for the sum of one hundred dollars under threats of publishing certain libelous article in the Daily Prospector which would place MT. Jacobs in a ridiculous light before the community. The law makes such an eAense felony, and sub' jects the offender to punishment of five years in the penitentiary. If the grand jury, which meets in this city next Monday, does not investigate these charges, it will fail in doing its duty.

Unnecessary Misery.

Probably as much misery comes from habitual constipation as from any de- engagement of the functions of the body, and it is difficult to cure, for the reason that no one likes to take the medicines usually prescribed.
